Un message personnel de Ben Laden à GW

D’une de nos amis américaines, et pour nos lecteurs américanisants, le texte que voici, qui nous conte l’histoire d’un courrier énigmatique.

« After hearing numerous times that, “We don't know if Osama Bin Laden is still alive,” Osama himself decided to send a letter in his own handwriting to US President George Bush, just to let him know he was still in the game.

» Bush opened the letter, which contain a single line of a coded message: 370HSSV-0773H.

» Bush was baffled, so he forwarded it to Condi Rice. Condi and her aides had no idea either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI, so it went to the CIA, then finally to the NSA.

» With no clue as to the meaning of Osama's letter, the Bush Administration eventually asked Britain's MI-6 for help.

» Within a minute, MI-6 cabled the White House with this reply: “Tell the President he's holding the message upside down”, — ‘Hello Assholle’. »
